The unwashed ones look rubbish but as soon as the wash goes on it looks like the colours you'd expect. Happy with the method so now I just have to put it into practise with the rest of the army.
I've tweaked the list thanks to some canny eBay purchases and I've got a game against either Nids or dark eldar tomorrow. Either way it's pie plate central with a smattering of scatter lasers and 2 units of d-scythe toting wraith guard in wave serpents

Looking good so far mate, just one question though, on the vypers did you deliberately go with the clean line split between the colours as opposed to the blends on the other models? What I mean is there a colour scheme that dictates vypers are done like that?

Well I haven't got much done due to lending my army out to some friends at work who have been trying to get their mates involved. (A few liked the wraithknight)
In the meantime I've had a little side project going on (well several) and I've been building like crazy. The mymeara book also has Bran Redmaw's company of space wolves so in a true Ying and yang style I've bought myself a space wolf army to go alongside them
I've also built both footy teams from my dread ball box set. (Cheers Zog) and am slowly getting to grips with that.
Last but not least I've carpeted the garage and put my eBay special dining table up ready for my gaming board to go on.
No rest for the wicked eh?
Yes i know. Pics to follow after my road trip to Wolves tomorrow

Airbrush base coat will take a couple of hours for the lot. Then it's on to the picky stuff so best part of 4 months I reckon
